Notice

Audience Development is one of the strategic priorities in the Creative Europe programme. Building inclusive, diverse audiences is becoming increasingly key for arts, culture and heritage organisations, particularly when looking to access funding at local, national and European levels.

Cristina Da Milano will present the findings of the EU Commission's Study on Audience Development - How to place audiences at the centre of cultural organisations. The aim of the study is to provide successful approaches and methods in Audience Development to the EC and to help cultural leaders make their organisations more audience-based. This will be very useful in any Creative Europe funding applications that you may submit in the future!

Have a look at the engageaudiences.eu website where you can access the report and find useful resources related to audience development.
